Footage originally posted on Twitter shows an arborist near the top of a severely bending palm tree getting to work with a chainsaw. Once the top of the tree is removed, the trunk rebounds dramatically, taking the arborist on a hair-raising ride.

  1. Guys before you saw he cut it for no reason, a palm tree might need to be cut down if it is severely diseased, structurally damaged, poses a safety hazard due to its location or condition, is interfering with infrastructure, or if landscaping changes require its removal; in most cases, a professional arborist should assess the tree before deciding to cut it down as proper pruning can often address issues without full removal.
